In the Beginning...

In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the early days of the Fantasy Role Playing Game, Dungeons & Dragons. Hey, I was a part of those days.The PhantaCarta was a fanzine I published to cover several campaigns played at Toad Hall in Rockford, IL in the 70s and continued later in PA. It was my gateway to becoming a professional game designer, who had the honor and aggrevation to be published by the leading RPG companies in the world.I just recently uncovered copies of this work and was reminded of my early days in fantasy RolePlayingGames.

My primary "D&D" memory is having FUN with a great bunch of people. Unfortunately, most of them are gone.
